Pax unveils fresh fall fare

There will be lots of fresh new programming on Pax TV next season, including a slew of
made-for-TV movies on Friday and Saturday nights and four new one-hour
dramas.

Pax unveiled its new fall schedule to advertisers in New York Wednesday
morning.

In addition, Pax is launching three new daytime strips, including new versions
of Beat the Clock and Family Feud and a Martha Stewart-type show
called Right at Home with Susan Crenshaw.

Pax will air off-syndication Feud episodes hosted by Louie Anderson to
start, but starting in 2003, it will do original episodes with a new host.

Here's the prime time rundown:

Sunday:

Candid Camera returns at 7 p.m., followed by the returning Doc. At 9 p.m., a
new drama called Lip Service, based on the true story of a deaf female
FBI agent.

Monday: A new action/adventure drama, Young Blades, about the
next generation of Musketeers. A new medical drama will air at 9 p.m., Body &
Soul, starring Peter Strauss. Diagnosis: Murder remains
stripped Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m.

Tuesday:

Tuesday kicks off with Touched by an Angel, followed by new dramaJust Cause, about a framed housewife who does time, gets a law degree and
fights for underdogs. Richard Thomas co-stars.

Wednesday:

Candid Camera will also get things going on Wednesday at 8 p.m.,
followed by Touched by an Angel.

fall). Pax will air the Anne Robinson-hosted episodes that haven't yet aired on
the network, but it won't continue production on the series beyond next
fall.

A repurposed Lip Service will get Saturday going at 8 p.m., followed by theSaturday Mystery Movie from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. The mystery movies will be
